Present or present day English is referred to as such because it is the form of English that is currently used in society. It is to differentiate from historical forms of English (e.g. Old English).

Present English is not a term commonly used to refer to the English language. There is no specific "present English" as the English language is continuously evolving and changing over time. It is generally referred to as Modern English or simply English.
